Tesco is to launch nationwide same-day grocery delivery.

The supermarket chain first introduced the service to London and the South East in 2014 – the service will now be offered across more than 300 stores across the UK. The new delivery service will be available to 99 per cent of UK households.

Customers can order as many items as they like by 1pm to have their shopping delivered from 7pm onwards. The service will be priced between £3 and £8, but will be free for a limited period to members of Tesco’s online delivery membership scheme, Delivery Saver.

“Customers tell us they like getting their shopping delivered quickly and conveniently, and with our same day delivery service they can now order by lunch to get their shopping delivered for their evening meal,” said Adrian Letts, managing director, Tesco Online.

“We’ve seen the service grow in popularity since we launched it in London and the South East so we’re really excited to be rolling it out to customers nationwide.”
